Cardi B Won't Perform at Super Bowl in Support of Colin Kaepernick
Cardi B has rejected claims that she is asking for $1 million in order to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, although a rep for Cardi B suggested that the rapper would likely skip the Maroon 5-led performance in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.
Page Six reported that Cardi B sought millions of dollars as well as a solo showcase during the halftime performance on February 3rd at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium; Super Bowl artists don’t typically receive a fee for the halftime show, as the high-profile nature of the gig recompensates itself in publicity.
Cardi B made a natural fit for the Super Bowl LIII halftime show: The rapper is already booked to play a pre-Super Bowl concert with Bruno Mars in Atlanta and she features on halftime headliners Maroon 5’s single “Girls Like You.”
However, in previous interviews, Cardi B said that she, like Rihanna and other artists, wouldn’t perform at the Super Bowl until “they hire Colin Kaepernick back.” A rep for Cardi B confirmed to Page Six that the NFL did have conversations with the rapper to appear but denied the $1 million claim.
